FRENCH LESSONS

french people are SO french. what is the deal? man oh man. champagne, wine, pride... french fries.

Last night at a art book party one of our field reps was accosted by a french man. we can neither confirm nor deny his identity or age or affiliations, however we can state for the record that he was indeed VERY FRENCH. our rep reports back that she was enlightened on the histroy of french toast, french fries and denim.

"Everything," the rep reported, "that he did and said was so french. It was hours of exactly what you would imagine a french person to say: why France and french dingalings are better than American whatevers.

"I don't care if other things and places are better than America. The problem is not that I am offended by patriotism of any kind. The problem is that IT IS NOT INTERESTING to listen to someone tell you what is best or better. SO WHAT if french soldiers' backpacks are better because they are lighter. That is uninteresting to me and I find it irrelevant to hear someone give a place props. No one cares but them. It is, in a sense, social dialogue masturbation. And disgusting" the rep added.
